Puerto Soller, Mallorca

Themountains surround us. By the way the weather was perfect. Sunny, dry and comfortable - 72 ish. As mentioned the weather turned heavy in the middle of the night, so we picked up anchor the next morning to head further east.



Quite stunning.


This is St. Bartholemew's Catholic Church. Time to check on the holy water. See the staimed glass circular windows on the top? We'll see them from inside.



We journied into Soller Town, about 2 miles inland. Ity turns out the major towns on these islands developed in land because they got tired of getting raided by pirates. Garrrr.





Always a pleasure to walk the waterfront of these towns.



We arrived Puerto Soller to find a turn of the century rail system - from San Francisco!


Lunch time on Jungle took us by some pretty cliffs.

Some beatiful vistas on the way to Puerto Soller. Our route was on the northwest coast - very rugged and steep. Less development.


But let's not worry about the weather now. It's time for dinner!


We sailed into San Telmo, Mallorca in calm seas, but the weather turned on us later.
